Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has become one of the most popular energy storage solutions globally for applications ranging from micro-mobility systems to electric, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. It has become an important link in the chain of clean energy harvesting and consumption and is playing a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon energy. Heat is a critical component associated with lithium-ion batteries during normal operations and abuse scenarios, affecting their performance and safety. The heat produced from energy storage units/systems needs to be quantified and analyzed, so that proper strategies may be taken to either remove or add heat to ensure the safety, functionality, and reliability of these systems. This Special Issue will be focused on research works that help the understanding and management of Li-ion battery heat during either normal or abuse scenarios, with topics including but not limited to the following:
- Li-ion battery performance and durability tests;
- Thermal characterization of Li-ion cells, modules, or packs;
- Battery thermal management systems (covers either cooling or heating systems);
- Battery abuse testing and modelling;
- Research on battery thermal runaway and its propagation in modules and packs;
- Designs that can improve the performance or safety of Li-ion battery systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
